Carrot Onion Veg

Carrot veg is a simple and tasty dish.. This recipe can be found in many sites, but frankly this is my version and is a super hit in my house now.. Previously we used to not prefer traditional carrot veg much as it will be too sweet. This Carrot veg is spicy and is very tasty to eat. This tastes best when served hot with any sambar or rasam rice. Adjust salt and chili to taste. I am including this for this BM under cooking carrots in many ways

Ingredients
Carrot – 500 grams
Green chili – 4
Salt – 1 tea spoon
Turmeric Powder – ½ tea spoon
Onion – 1 cup (finely chopped)
Curry Leaves – 6
Mustard Seeds – ½ tea spoon
Ulutham Parupu / Urad Dal – 1 tea spoon
Sambar Powder / Rasam Powder – 1 ½ tea spoon
Chili Powder – ¼ tea spoon (optional)
Oil – 2 tea spoons
Water – to boil the carrots

Method
Chop the carrots to small cubes and boil it with salt, turmeric powder and sambar or rasam powder
Keep the boiled carrots aside
Heat a pan and add oil
Once oil is hot, add mustard seeds
After the mustard seeds crackle, add the ulutham parupu
When the ulutham parupu turns golden color, add the green chili and curry leaves and sauté for 30 seconds
Add onions and sauté well
Onions should be well done (add a pinch of salt to cook onions faster)
Once the onions are well done, add the boiled carrots and mix well
Switch off the flame and the carrot onion veg is ready to be served!!!

Eggless Chocolate Cake – Chocolate cake sheets

Cake Sheets are basic cakes with which you could do many shapes and designs as per your creativity. I made a black forest cake with chocolate ganache icing (recipes will follow soon) with this cake. But you could use your imagination and make them into various shapes. This recipe will give 2 9 inch round cakes.

Multigrain Bread

What an amazing tasting bread that screams – “I am healthier”. This Multigrain bread as the name says has a lot of grains added to it. You could individually go and select each of the whole grains, but I chose an easier path, which is use the Bob Red Mill’s 6 grain cereal (details are below). I got this recipe from Americas Test Kitchen show and this is a super keeper!!!.. This is a much healthier version of regular bread. This recipe makes two 9 by 5 inch loaves. Don't confuse 6-grain hot cereal mix with boxed, cold breakfast cereals that may also be labeled "6-grain." I have used the branded 6-grain mixes that are Bob's Red Mill and Arrowhead Mills. Leftover bread can be wrapped in a double layer of plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for 3 days; wrap with an additional layer of aluminum foil and the bread can be frozen for up to one month.

Milagai Podi

Some recipes are too simple to write but the taste and texture differs from house to house. Milagai podi falls into that category. This recipe is more about preference rather than strict measurements. This delicious podi is there in most of the South Indian homes and are great accompaniment to Idli and dosa.

Simple Gothsu – A perfect Side

Some recipes have exact measurements and cooking methods, while some recipes are very personalized and differs from house to house. This gothsu falls into the second category.. A very simple, homey and a comforting food to enjoy as a side to the idli, dosa, pongal, upuma or even mix it with hot rice and enjoy!!!
